KORG MicroKORG Review with Demos

on khoral's Cafe 80

"First thing to notice about the MK is the nice retro design… Ok, maybe second thing… the first being the awful mini keys. Why O why? Let’s deal with that right away and move on : the biggest issue with the MK might be the keyboard, and no, making it black don’t change anything."

I like that intro. :)

"Alan Freeman looks at the history of the synthesiser, from its origins over a century ago right up to the digital samplers."
There's a link on the right pane of the site when you get there. It appears to require Real Player.

itouch guitar 2.0 + Ableton

"This video is a quick demonstration of my guitar with 2 itouch ipods mounted onto the body of the guitar.

The ipod closest to the guitar pick ups is running Itouch Midi's Martix app which im using to send midi to Ableton Live on my Macbook via wifi.

And the itouch near the bottom is running Bloom designed by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers, Bloom is a generative music application.

Note: in this video bloom is just being run through my mixer when i play live it is run through various patches to alter it a bit.

The reason i shake the guitar is to clear bloom and start a new pattern, each time i shake it, it clears the boards and lets you start again.

Note: this video is just me messing around with a quick live set i through together just for the video its nothing real special but it shows kinda what im doing for my live sets, one thing that im not using in the video that is in my live setup is various Pd(puredata) patches.

More Videos Soon.
Thanks

-Brian Green"

"Early music synthesizers required patch cords to interconnect the modules, leading to a rat's nest of wires. This model eliminated the mess with a cross-connect panel, visible in the lower left. See the close-up photo."
